Patient's question:
A relative's child has been diagnosed with phenylketonuria. I don't quite understand what this disease is. I want to ask how much it costs to treat phenylketonuria and whether it can be cured. Will it cause any interference? Is the medication for this disease expensive?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after a child is born, screening will be conducted. It's hard to say how much it costs. After verification, the first thing to look at is what type it has. Then, based on its type, special dietary treatment or medication treatment must be actively administered. Otherwise, there may be sequelae. However, it is essential to go to a local regular hospital for active and thorough examination and treatment. Rest can be noted.
